Jordache Man Jordache 1983 Cologne

I'll tell you one thing and that is fragrance truly is a personal and private experience that should definitely be judged on a case by case basis no matter what others say. This Citrus leaning masculine fragrance was exactly $12 on eBay for this Vintage bottle. I wasn't expecting big things and I didn't get it either, but what I DID get is a solid fragrance beautifully made for an awesome price to boot. Longevity is at least 7hrs which is a lot better than I was expecting. The citrus/woody/earthly concoction is definitely a product of it's era which was 1983, the Golden Age of Perfumerie, especially for men. This lays on the skin and stays there for most of the day and the scent is fabulous. The smell can be compared to other masculines 5 times the price. I'm happy with this subtle purchase and I will gladly WEAR this fragrance whenever and I'll wear it proudly. I'll bet you won't find 5 other guys to say the same thing.

After encountering over 300 fragrances, "Jordache Man" is actually the first one from my birth year. It's quite funny, considering I've been testing 80s scents extensively for some time now.

"Jordache Man," which has been relatively overlooked here, turns out to be a charming cologne. You can tell from the very beginning that it has an EdC character, which is quite pleasant on days when you don’t want to be overwhelmed by a scent.

It opens with a fresh green start, lively; I would guess basil and a bit of coriander alongside bergamot. The whole composition feels relatively laid-back, a truly airy arrangement.

Overall, "Jordache Man" comes across as very approachable, softly flattering, yet intriguingly masculine due to its rather fresh patchouli notes and equally fresh, lighter leather. It retains a slightly herbal quality through subtle oakmoss.

The scent gradually fades in a fresh-green-leathery manner.
Really pleasant to smell, considering the modest price (US import: 100 ml = 9 euros), it’s almost a must-buy in the realm of lighter, everyday Chypre fragrances.

A scent that only Schmörkes and I currently own can't be wrong....

A completely unjustly completely unknown Chypre of the purest kind. Masculine, citrusy, spicy, and old-fashioned. Classic, without compromises and false attitude. An HONEST scent.

I must unfortunately confirm the low longevity criticized by Schmmörkes. Given the low price (and it IS indeed an EdC), this is bearable; you just reapply it more often. Simply good stuff.

I had no idea.
I didn't know the company Jordache or their pants.
A gap in my education. Sure.
Country bumpkin, from the Lower Rhine, I apologize for that.

Jordache makes jeans, including shorts, and Heidi Klum advertises for them; my contact with Jordache is limited to a bottle of "Jordache Man," while Heidi's contact is certainly only with certain models of the brand and not with the shorts also offered, available in pink, presented to Walmart customers for their delight.

But Heidi and I have something in common: we like good fabric, and Jordache Man delivers that for me.
An ultra-masculine appearance, the lemon is already taken care of within seconds of pulling up the pants, making you want to join a phalanx with Tabac, Marbert, Azzaro, Polo; here too, the gold chain jingles.
A fragrance from 1983, and it doesn't hide that!

A bright, spicy, dry scent, a fine chypre with eggs, that could easily be worth a hundred for me, not least due to its absolute naturalness,
if it didn't come off as just a cologne.
And that's exactly what breaks its leg; the sillage, after a spectacular appearance, is unfortunately only mediocre, the longevity is good, but for me, it could pack more punch.

Still, a buying tip for all old-school friends; 100ml splash for under 9€ is really worth it...
